When you're winding down the biggest tour of your career - not to mention one of the biggest pop tours of recent years - it goes without saying that you should go out with a bang.

That's essentially what happened at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey the other night, where Beyoncé played the closing date of her 'Formation' world tour, which began this April and of course, visited Dublin in July.

Queen Bey has more than a few famous friends, and some of them turned up to party with her on Friday night - including tennis star Serena Williams:

Kendrick Lamar, who showed up to play 'Freedom' with her:

 

 

Her hubby, Jay Z:

 

There were a host of stars from the rap and hip-hop world hanging around backstage, including DJ Khaled, Remy Ma, T.I. and many more - while Jay Z was also pictured with his fellow rappers DMX and Ja Rule: 

 

So basically, everyone who's anyone on the hip-hop scene was there. Except her sister Solange, who was no doubt off celebrating her number 1 album.
